2007-11-11 |
Iraqi Police, advised by U.S. Special Forces, detained four suspected extremists and recovered several weapons during operations near Samarra Nov. 8. The raid was conducted after a group of armed individuals were observed manning an unauthorized traffic checkpoint in the area earlier in the day. Further investigation led Iraqi and U.S. Forces to a site where suspected members of an extremist group were meeting. Iraqi Police and U.S. Special Forces detained three suspected foreign extremist fighters and one suspected Iraqi extremist. Recovered in the operation were 10 rocket propelled grenades, five RPG-7 launchers, eight improvised mortar tubes, three suicide bomber vests, two DSHKA heavy machine guns and one PKM machine gun. |
